CHAPTER 275-H.F.No. 2642 An act relating to reemployment insurance; exempting certain overpaid benefits from the standard collection procedure; amending Laws 1997, chapter 202, article 1, section 17, subdivision 8. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: Section 1. Laws 1997, chapter 202, article 1, section 17, subdivision 8, is amended to read: Subd. 8. Accounts Receivable 2,123,000 2,161,000 During the biennium ending June 30, 1999, when a debt owed to any entity of state government for which the Minnesota collection enterprise has jurisdiction becomes 121 days past due, the state entity must refer the account to the commissioner of revenue for assignment to the Minnesota collection enterprise. This requirement does not apply if there is a dispute over the amount or validity of the debt, if the debt is the subject of legal action or administrative proceedings, or the agency determines that the debtor is adhering to acceptable payment arrangements. This requirement does not apply to reemployment insurance benefits paid to a claimant that were later determined overpaid benefits under Minnesota Statutes, section 268.18, subdivision 1, that resulted from: (1) an error by the department of economic security; (2) an employer's error; or (3) an appeal reversed under Minnesota Statutes, section 268.105, subdivision 3a, paragraph (b) or (c). These overpaid reemployment insurance benefits, which are obligations only to the Minnesota reemployment insurance fund, shall not be included in the reporting requirements of Minnesota Statutes, section 16D.03. The commissioner of revenue, in consultation with the commissioner of finance, may provide that certain types of debt need not be referred to the commissioner for assignment to the collection enterprise under this paragraph. Methods and procedures for referral shall follow internal guidelines prepared by the commissioner of finance. Sec. 2. [EFFECTIVE DATE.] Section 1 is effective the day following final enactment. Presented to the governor March 13, 1998 Signed by the governor March 16, 1998, 10:23 a.m.
